How stunningly superior "florilegium" is! I can hear a 12-year old girl recite this as if from a breviary. As if by knowing one's numbers one is prepared for whatever the world throws their way. World? Heart? the mythic realities? poet's progress? Whatever we learned to count surely frames our latter sums. An interesting, ambitious rosary here.

Mom Z, I loved to read your assimilation here of the flowers you gathered, i.e. your florilegium. A few petals wanted me to stop and smell. Five brings to mind a five-pointed star as I have been intrigued with those ever since I learned to draw one. I was glad you did just the clock, or month, numbers. Nature seems to like these twelve especially well.[I wrote a couple of times about star drawing. You could do an upper left hand corner search for "star" and the first and second ones should show my hand drawn star. :)]..
